Coach Uruguay?

In a press conference for the old people game between Argentina and Uruguay, Diego talked about the possibility for him to coach the Uruguayan national team. "I still haven't spoken with Paco (Uruguayan industrialist Francisco Casal). so I don't know for sure, we're going to see."

According to this Olé Article, Uruguayan press believed another Argentine, Alejandro Mancuso will be contracted. (What happened to Oscar Tabarez?) Alejandro Mancuso is a friend of Diego, and will be in the old people game on Sunday as well. BTW, they have a clip of the interview with Maradona in the linked webpage. He looked healthy and happy.


Diego also phoned Messi to play with him in the old people game (WHAT?!). It's unconfirmed whether the flea will make an appearance.

When asked about Messi, Maradona said: "He's the one that gives us hope to look ahead for senior side victories in the future. He is competent on the pitch, while playing amusing football. We're both left-handed people, we both won FIFA youth World Cup. We both scored goal with our hands... and they didn't see."

Earlier this year, in a press conference, Messi said: "It was a brilliant goal, Maradona would have been proud, as for my Professor in my 'How to Cheat at Football' Class, he came in his pants with excitment!"

Well, now we know there's a mutual understanding between those 2. Bad influence for kids man, coke head!

According to Reuters, Jose Enrique just signed with New Castle for 6 million GBP. As explain in second part of this article, Villarreal's defense was in trouble even counting Jose Enrique. It's totally fucked now. Besides Fuentes and Josemi, we still have the 33 year old Cygan and 32 year old Venta. Other than that, 2 new faces, Joan Capdevila (29 yr old LB from Deportivo La Coruña) and Diego Godin (21 yr old Uruguayan CB). Gonzalo Rodriguez is likely to miss the whole year again.

Capdevila-Cygan-Fuentes-Venta with Josemi and Godin as substitutes. We are playing both UEFA Cup and Spanish season with 6 defenders?!

The boat is rated to 6 metres,
but of course we could go deeper
